Review: PSYCHO III
For a long time, this film has been misunderstood and dismissed as nothing more than a slice 'em dice 'em bloodfest. WRONG. The film has, for those willing to accept it, an unexpected modicum of depth and ingenuity, and a passionate, risky stylization that works marvelously. The spectacle of Anthony Perkins directing himself in the role for which he will be most remembered was enough to attract my attention, and I wasn't disappointed.
It is just a month after the disapperance of Mrs. Spool (from PSYCHO II) and Norman is still out at his motel. A young woman named Maureen Coyle who has started to question her faith in the her Mother, the Virgin Mary, arrives at the motel, after being thrown out of the car she was hithchiking in for rejecting the sexual advances of the aspiring rock musician who now works at the motel. Norman is attracted to her, but her initals and resemblance to one of his previous victims, (need I say which one) ressurect painful memories and dissaproval from Mother. But he persists in shyly courting Maureen as their paths cross, which eventually ends in tragedy.
The film is primarily a black comedy, a fact which somehow escaped most critics at the time. Apparently critics believed that Perkins was trying ONLY for horror, and didn't know what he was doing, resulting in unintentional camp humor. On the contrary, he was AIMING for this effect. PSYCHO III is a maliciously funny, tragic and at turns scary movie. The scares are kept to a minimum as the focus of the story is on Norman and his differing interaction with various people which don't end in murder. Many complained that Perkins was courting cliche in having a party of drunken jerks come to stay at the motel, yet they failed to notice how Perkins subverted this cliche by having them survive. In an ordinary 80's horror film, all of them, at least the unkind ones, would have certainly been slaughtered, but only one, and the only nice one at that, gets killed while the others just leave after their stay. It is also argued by some, particularly Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader, that Perkins has made Mother a "pure camp figure" and a "bloodthirsty monster, which is as far from Hitchcock's original intention as possible". Quite the contrary, again. True, Mother does stop to straighten a painting on the way to a killing, (which is undeniably campy, but just as undeniably hilarious and unique in the filmic context in which it is placed) Mother, as created in Norman's mind, is a reflection of HIS perception of her. Seeing that "Mother" has killed everyone that Norman ever cared about or was attracted to, it is perfectly natural for him to think that his mother was nothing more than a bloodthirsty monster; even though "she" says she's doing it protect him, the consistency with which she kills anyone that comes close to Norman physically and emotionally should logically lead him to believe otherwise. When Norman is "Mother" he is behaving in the way he believes his "Mother" behaves, and if he thinks that she is a "bloodthirsty monster" which he has every reason to, than he will BE a bloodthirsty monster when he is "Mother".
Aside from that beautifully complex thematic structure that Perkins created with Norman, he has also given the film a deep and striking visual style to match his daring thematic style. Occasionally he mixes colorful references to Hitchcock and Argento, but he has a very unique style all his own. He has different sets built together, connected by either a door ar a hall so that instead of dissolving into the next scene, or just cutting straight to it, he will segue into scenes from other scenes in different sets by merely walking through the door or down the hall, and in one instance moving into a close up of a television in a bar, then as the camera pulls back, without cutting, we are suddenly in Norman's parlor. Perkins also has an adroit sense of lighting patterns, knowing just what type and color of light to use in each scene; sometimes chiaroscuro in a film noirish sense and sometimes wild and vibrant as in the sequence in which he discovers the body of a young woman in the parlor bathroom: the green neon light from the motel sign is filling the room, and he walks INTO that green light, half his face masked in darkness the other half lit in such a way that it exposes all his wrinkles and signs of aging in a green flesh which makes him appear monstrous yet deeply sympathetic, a brilliant exposition of the character of Norman Bates.
Perkins as actor is equally masterful, somehow managing to add nuance to his immortal portrayal of Norman. Watch as Norman and Maureen lay down together in her bed, and Norman, at first underneath, runs his trembling hands down her back, pandering unknowingly, before he somewhat unassuredly rolls over on top. Perkins demeanor during this incredible sequence clearly conveys that this must be the first time Norman has ever attempted to make love to a woman, and he's not sure how he should go about it. Finally he admits that he can't do this and the view of the two merely embracing as Perkins sinks his face into the mattress is puctuated by the image at the bottom of the screen clutching the edge of the bed, in unbearable anguish. That may be one of the best moments of acting he has ever done.
The rest of the cast is very good, particularly Diana Scarwid as the would be nun, and Roberta Maxwell, in a characterization reminiscent of the late great Thelma Ritter, as the pushy reporter out to prove that Norman is off his rocker again.  And don't miss two of the best set-pieces from that year, even beating out the many in SOMETHING WILD, one involving ice-cubes and the other, a thematically brilliant visualization of Norman and Marion's paths crossing.

Renowned free solo rock climber Brad Gobright falls to death in Mexico
Mexico City – A world-renowned rock climber, US national Brad Gobright, fell to his death while climbing a sheer rock face in northern Mexico, authorities said on Thursday.
Gobright, 31, and fellow American Aidan Jacobson, 26, were climbing a route known as the Shining Path in the northern state of Nuevo Leon on Wednesday when they fell, the state's emergency response agency said in a statement.
Witnesses said the men had finished climbing the 900-metre summit and were rappelling back down when the accident occurred.
Jacobson landed on a rock outcrop, but Gobright bounced off and fell another 300 metres to his death, they said.
"Jacobson suffered lesions on his right ankle and various parts of his body. He was treated at our base," the statement said.
Gobright "lost his life after falling around 300 metres".
The late rock climber was known for his gravity-defying solo ascents with no ropes.
Star of the Academy Award-winning documentary Free Solo, Alex Honnold, paid tribute to Gobright on social media.


Writing Data Validators¶
There are two ways to write a data validator on a django model.
with a regular (instance) method
with a class method using the
@classmethod
decorator
An instance method should take one parameter (self
) and return either:
data_validator.PASS
,data_validator.FAIL
,data_validator.NA
, orA
bool
A class method should take one parameter (cls
) and return either:
data_validator.Summary
,data_validator.PASS
,data_validator.FAIL
,A
QuerySet
, alist
of model objects, or alist
of model ids representing the objects that failed the validation, orA
bool
Instance Methods¶
For the following sections we will use the example models from the django tutorial of questions and their choices.
from django.db import models
class Question(models.Model):
question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
class Choice(models.Model):
question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)
Suppose we want to validate that every question has exactly four choices, except those that were published before 2020 (when this criteria didn’t apply). We can write a validator on the Question model.
from datavalidation import data_validator, PASS, FAIL, NA
from django.db import models
class Question(models.Model):
...
@data_validator
def check_four_choices_per_question(self):
""" check that each question has exactly four choices
<longer description if needed>
"""
if self.pub_date.year < 2020:
return NA("published before 2020")
if self.choices.count() == 4:
return PASS
else:
return FAIL
Some things to note:
the short doc-string (i.e. up to the blank line) is read as the description for the data validator in the admin page
PASS
,FAIL
, andNA
can be returned with or without paraenthesisWe cold have chosen to return
True
/False
rather thanPASS
/FAIL
, butNone
cannot be used in place ofNA
. This is to prevent code paths that do not explicitly return a value (possibly an error) being interpreted asNA
You can also return a bool
from a data validator, so we may write the above more succinctly as
@data_validator
def check_four_choices_per_question(self):
""" check that each question has exactly four choices """
if self.pub_date.year < 2020:
return NA("published before 2020")
return self.choices.count() == 4
One significant problem with the above validator is that during validation it will be called for every object in the database table. This will be particularly slow because each object accessing self.choices
requires a database query. Therefore data_validator
supports two arguments: select_related
and prefetch_related
, which may be a field name or a list of field names to select and prefetch respectively. see here. for more details about prefetch and select related.
The new validator looks like this
from datavalidation import data_validator, PASS, FAIL, NA
from django.db import models
class Question(models.Model):
...
@data_validator(prefetch_related="choices")
def check_four_choices_per_question(self):
""" check that each question has exactly four choices """
...
For a comparison, testing against 55,000 randomly generated Questions and Choices against a Postgres database gave the following times
validator |
time (s) |
number of queries |
|---|---|---|
without prefetch |
74.0 |
55,007 |
with prefetch |
26.2 |
36 |
Caveats: this table is only meant as a rough guide. I did not use a precision timer, and the experiements were only repeated once. The query counts also include some additional queries for setting up db transactions.
Class Methods¶
prefetch_related
and select_related
offer a quick way to speed up validators, but the validators from the previous section still require iterating over every object to validate the entire table. In some cases it may make more sense to test all objects in a single function. Using class method validator enables us to do just that.
from datavalidation import data_validator
from django.db import models
class Question(models.Model):
...
@data_validator
@classmethod
def check_four_choices_per_question(cls):
""" check that each question has exactly four choices """
return cls.objects \
.filter(pub_date__year__gte=2020) \
.annotate(choice_count=Count("choices")) \
.exclude(choice_count=4)
Things to note:
we have returned a
QuerySet
of objects that fail the data validation. These will be saved to the database and you can review them in the admin page.select_related and prefetch_related have no effect when using a class method validator.
@data_validator must be the outter most decorator
While the above validator is the most optimised, it doesn’t provide the same detail of output as our first validator. Namely, the number of objects passing and NA are missing. Therefore, you have also the option to return a data_validator.Summary
object that you can store these additional fields, which will make them available on the admin page (at the expense of two more database queryies).
from datavalidation import data_validator, Summary
from django.db import models
class Question(models.Model):
...
@data_validator
@classmethod
def check_four_choices_per_question(cls):
""" check that each question has exactly four choices """
qs = cls.objects \
.filter(pub_date__year__gte=2020) \
.annotate(choice_count=Count("choices")) \
.exclude(choice_count=4)
return Summary(
num_na=cls.objects.filter(pub_date__year__lt=2020).count(),
num_passing=qs.filter(choice_count=4).count(),
failures=qs.exclude(choice_count=4) # no .count()!
)
Extending the comparison from the previous section there is a considerable improvement (the same caveats apply).
validator |
time (s) |
number of queries |
|---|---|---|
without prefetch |
74.0 |
55,007 |
with prefetch |
26.2 |
36 |
classmethod (1) |
1.8 |
3 |
classmethod (2) |
1.8 |
5 |
Valdidator Overloading¶
The previous section discussed data validators in the context of validating all objects at once. In other cases, such as when saving an admin form, you might want to validate only a single object. In these cases, the class method validator previously implemented will now likely be the bottleneck. Therefore you may provide two implementations (one instance method for validting single objects, and one class method when running validation accross all your data). In order to acheive this, @data_validator
supports overloading (similar to functools.singledispatch). For instance, we can combine the two examples above as follows.
class Question:
@data_validator
def check_four_choices_per_question(self):
""" check that each question has exactly four choices """
if self.pub_date.year < 2020:
return NA("published before 2020")
return self.choices.count() == 4
@check_four_choices_per_question.overload
@classmethod
def check_four_choices_per_question(cls):
""" check that each question has exactly four choices """
return cls.objects \
.filter(pub_date__year__gte=2020) \
.annotate(choice_count=Count("choices")) \
.exclude(choice_count=4)
Some things to note:
both versions of the functions should have the same name
@check_four_choices_per_question.overload
must be the outter most decoratorit does not matter whether the instance or class method is specified first
it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the two versions of the validator are consistent.
When validating a model (either from the command line with ./manage.py validate or with the ModelValidationRunner
), the class method will be called for the validaiton.
When saving an object in the admin form that has the datavalidation.admin.DataValidationMixin
, the object will be revalidated with the instance method implementation if provided (otherwise will fall back to the classmethod).
Some Final Thoughts¶
This package allows you to write validators of varying degress of complexity. I would suggest that for most cases, the first example is sufficient, and the final example (which might even be considered an anti-pattern) should only be implemented as such when necessary.

--- layout: post title: Power On Server Remotely (远程开机) tagline: Setting up Wake on LAN/WAN categories: computer tags: [network] ---
I have a linux box behind a router in my flat. Usually, it is powered off when I am in office. Now and then, however, I would like to power it on and download/upload some materials from/to it. This can be achieved by WOL (and DDNS if you don't have a fixed IP).
Take Dell Optplex 360 as an example, set it in: BIOS -> Power Management -> Remote Wakeup.
$ sudo ethtool eth0 | grep Wake Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g
sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g
Where "wol g" -> Wake on MagicPacket.
If your NIC card supports SecureOn password for MagicPacket ("Supports Wake-on:" includes "s"), you can set a password for wol:
sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol s sopass 11:22:33:aa:bb:cc
wol
or whatever tool to send wake-up packets. E.g.
wol 00:23:ae:98:83:91 wol --passwd=11-22-33-aa-bb-cc 00:23:ae:98:83:91
NOTE: Eventhough WOL itself is independent of operating systems, it may be still inmpacted by OS since OS may put NIC into incorrect state.
This is basically the same as WOL except that WOL magic packets have to traverse the WAN, which is solved by DDNS.
This way, even the host isn't on, router still able to send forward packets to it.
The default UDP port number for WOL is 9, but it doesn't matter at all to NIC. That is so long as the packet arrives at the NIC, the NIC will boot the host.
Therefore, the port number needn't be 9. You can reuse any another already mapped UDP port so long as it can get WOL magic packets to the host.
wol 00:23:ae:98:83:91 -i domain.name.or.router -p 9 # wol send to UDP port 40000 by default


On occasion, some parts of the country have been prey to ethnic and sectarian violence and it is essential that anyone planning to visit Indonesia should monitor the internal situation in Muluku and Papua carefully and avoid critical areas. Eastern Kalimantan (near the Sulu Sea) occasionally appears in traveler advisories as well.
Whilst Ambon did suffer riots in 2011, these were not local to the harbour but on another part of the island, and visitors were not targeted. The area is now peaceful once again.
Take the usual sensible general precautions (locking the boat, dinghy & outboard, securing deck gear down below at night or when off the boat etc.), but in Indonesia most thieves are likely to opportunistic rather than violent.
Most cruisers visiting the country report having no real security or safety fears.

Crocodile Attacks - Raja Ampat
In April 2016 a fatal saltwater crocodile attack on a snorkeller was reported, off the coast of Minyaifun island.
http://www.divernet.com/home-diving-news/p305790-crocodile-attack-in-raja-ampat.html
The climate is hot and humid. July to September is the dry season, December to January the rainiest period. Temperatures range from 75-90°F (24-33°C). The islands are under the influence of the SE monsoon from April to October and the NW monsoon from November to March, although land and sea breezes predominate close to the islands. The islands are not affected by tropical cyclones.

Moving devices drivers out into userspace (Dave)
Goal is to make the Mirage device driver libraries compile on both UNIX and Xen, so that we can prototype them all in userspace and then just recompile into Xen. All of the required kernel bits in Linux should be there in 3.5 upwards, such as the gnttab
and evtchn
devices. Dave has issued a series of pull requests to make this possible for Mirage Platform, and will merge them this week. This means that mirage-platform
now exposes a xenctrl OCamlfind package.
Anil: we’re missing an example to test userspace bits as a simple unit test. Perhaps a simple memory-backed block device would be a useful one to include, as there are significant moving parts required to get it up and running at the moment. Jon: There’s some VHD code that we could use and should be in OPAM. Anil: Even a RAM disk would work initially, before this, just to get functional tests running before anything persistent. Dave: tricky thing with blkfront is that the API is different between userspace and kernel mode. Will work on this more with Jon.
Vincent also just finished up the tuntap bindings and is working on migrating mirage-platform
to using it this week.

Cross-compiling MatrixSSL (Jon Ludlam)
Anil and Jon attended the Yahoo hack day. There were giant robots there. They ended up starting OCaml bindings to MatrixSSL.
Jon just writing bindings to it under the UNIX environment but also has stuff working in Mirage. This is a good way of getting SSL support into Mirage as an early stepping stone.
Anil: Lib is GPLv2 so will need to replace at some point but better than OpenSSL for binding.
Jon: could we have Dropbox like functionality. using a VM backend as store.
Anil: yes, with Async/Cohttp this shouldnt be too hard once userspace drivers are working.
Anil: Hot off the press are some FFI bindings by Jeremy Yallop. Doesn’t require any actual C code to bind any more, but still stabilising and perf testing.
Prashanth: Anyone looked at miTLS from MSR/INRIA? Anil: Challenge is to get a verified high-performance version of anything in this space.
Js_of_ocaml storage (Anil Madhavapeddy)
Anil started writing a little abstraction library for js_of_ocaml for storage, for eventual integration into Irminsule. It’s a bit complicated as you have to write for the case where local storage is present and where it is not. Lib helps take care of that so you don’t have to worry when writing your stuff. Need a name for this unified library. Email Anil if you have any ideas! He’s going to upload it for next week.
Daniel: Need to do some JS hacking so Anil will send stuff to him too. Also, Anil should check stuff in vg as had to do some similar stuff so check it out and see if there’s anything useful in there. Link is here for mli and ml.
Daniel: Bigarray support in Js_of_ocaml?
Anil: JS has typed arrays instead, but I don’t know how many browsers support this.
Daniel: Canvas may allow you to use that.
Euan: Everything supports typed arrays except Opera mini (discovered via caniuse.com)
Actor libraries and the new wg-parallel working group (Anil Madhavapeddy)
We’ve set up wg-parallel for (a) multicore and (b) actor thing for stateless programming. Euan is cloning Erlang OTP in Async/Core as his “month off” project. wg-parallel not announced to OCaml list yet until we do some preparatory work.
Euan describes his emerging actor library. Using polymorphic variants as message types. hoping to have type checking between process but running into polymorphism and subtyping issues. Sent some emails to list and apparently can’t do it the way he wanted (after chatting with Leo).
Interesting thing is really OTP which is how Erlang builds reliable systems on message passing. Hope that we might build an OCaml runtime that has separate heaps and message passing (of interest to Stephen Dolan and Leo).
Anil: Pipes in Async are abstract: they take alpha/beta values and apply flow-control. The Reader/Writers in Async_unix actually implement TCP. We need a shared memory version. David: API for shared-memory-ring is mostly good, but quite low-level and needs some work to clean it up with accessors. Euan: Hello World in Erlang is program called ping-pong. Haven’t benchmarked Erlang’s version but OCaml version does 8000 per second. Will start cross-comparisons with Erlang.
Prashanth: For benchmarking, Erlang uses bunch of http stuff.
Euan: In Erlang, they’re less concerned about throughput but about handling multiple connections. It’s more about scalability of concurrent connections.
Brief discussion about load generation for testing purposes and difficulty of spinning up sufficient load to stress a server. Could use Mirage for better load generators, which would be more widely usable. Anil: May not want to use multiple experimental systems for testing/benchmarking. Maybe the stuff for fuzz-testing might be useful for HTTP though.
wg-parallel list is small at the moment so idea is to start discussion how to move Lwt and Async together. Just need them to work well together as they’re both going to be around for a long time. This is a pressing concern from Mirage which has a significant investment in Lwt but needs to migrate to Async in the longer term.
Prashanth: does the actor library consider scheduling to be a concern? Erlang is pre-emptievely scheduled. Can be blocked any time you’re running. That’s why we need better underlying support in the VM if we want actor model. Anil believes that we can make it work just fine with UNIX processes and message passing and Monitors. The emerging multicore OCaml runtime will help.
Euan: Hot code reloading in Erlang will be more difficult in OCaml. Anil: Sounds like xen live-migration, which everyone says is great but don’t really use it. Prashanth: That’s one reason why Erlang doesn’t have a static type-system (so they can hot-reload). Anil: we should be looking at service-level hot reload, not at the code level (c.f. the ongoing FRP/React discussion).
Openflow status
Prashanth has been looking at OpenFlow versions and seems lots has changed between recent revisions. Some of it breaks backwards compatibility, and semantics too. i.e flow matching has changed between 1.1 and 1.3.
Anil: nothing we’re doing requires compatibility with current hardware so perhaps just work with 1.3 and then figure out a backwards compatible mapping. Prashanth: I’ll send some links to updated spec (find it here).
No call next week (7th May) as several members are travelling, but we can resume the call as normal in two weeks on the 14th May.

- The Haryana State government has set a target to provide employment to two lakh youth in the State under the ‘Saksham Yojana’.
- Officials to recruit youth under the Yojana for various departments where there was shortage of employees.
- Other areas of opportunity:
- The youth should also be provided job opportunities in industrial units.
- There was a new plan to establish a trauma centre at every 60 km to provide instant medical facilities to those injured in road accidents on national highways.
Basic Information
‘Saksham Yojana’:

- Under this scheme Rs.9000 per month will be offered for working 100hours a month. It is mandatory to register online to start taking the benefits.
- Eligible criteria
- Applicant should be domicile of Haryana
- Applicant should be registered in the Employment Exchange
- Applicant should be post graduate
- Age: between 21 to 35years
- Annual family income: less than Rs. 3 lakh per annum.
- The benefit of the scheme will be given for max of 3 years
- Applicant should register online for this scheme
2. Bengal mulling English medium sections in government schools
In news:
- The West Bengal government is considering a proposal to introduce separate English medium sections at the primary level to class VIII in government-run schools.
- Why such a move?
Introducing separate English medium sections in government-run schools had become all the more important as such schools were lagging behind private English medium schools.
Context
- For the first time in Indian history talaq-e-bid’awas specifically debated and set aside by the Supreme Court
- Latest ruling completely and unconditionally invalidates talaq-e-bid’ and renders it bad in law.
- The Koranic procedure of talaq is the only way by which a Muslim husband will be able to divorce his wife from now on
Talaq-e-bidat
- Talaq-e-bidat has allowed men to pronounce talaq thrice in one sitting, sometimes scrawled in a written talaqnama, or even by phone or text message.
- Thereafter, even if the man himself perceives his decision to have been hasty in hindsight, the divorce remains irrevocable
The majority judgment
- Talaq-e-bid’a cannot be excluded from the definition of “talaq” mentioned in Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937.
- As the Shariat Act was a law made before the Constitution came in force, it would fall within the expression “laws in force” in Article 13(3)(b), and would be hit by Article 13(1) if found to be inconsistent with Part III of the Constitution, to the extent of the inconsistency.
- The two judges chose not to examine if the Narasu Appa Maliruling. This judgment had held that personal laws cannot be tested against the provisions of Part III of the Constitution.
- Biggest achievement was harmonisation of constitutional equality with Koranic egalitarianism.
- This was done by endorsing the Koranic law of talaq mentioned in Shamim Ara and declaring talaq-e-bid’a to be “manifestly arbitrary” and violative of Article 14
- Because it allows a Muslim man to break the marriage “capriciously and whimsically” without attempting to save it through reconciliation.
- On these grounds, Section 2 of the 1937 Act was struck down as being void to the extent that it recognises and enforces instant talaq.
- Talaq-e-bid’a falls outside the Shariahbecause it goes against its primary source, the Koran
The minority opinion
- Declared talaq-e-bid’a to be an essential part of the Hanafi faith and gave it protection under Article 25(1).
- Given weight to the overwhelming evidence in the Koran and authentic hadeeses against instant talaq they could have avoided the problematic invocation of Article 142 to direct the state to enact an “appropriate legislation” on talaq-e-bid’a.
- Article 13(2) clearly states that the “State shall not make any law which takes away or abridges the rights conferred by this Part and any law made in contravention of this clause shall, to the extent of the contravention, be void.
- The AIMPLB cited just one report from Sihah Sitta in which instant talaq is mentioned. But this hadees does not show any Prophetic support for talaq-e-bid’a.
- It clearly states that the man who pronounced “triple talaq” did so “without the Prophet’s command.
Implications of verdict
- Biggest achievement for Muslim women, that talaq-e-bid’ain any of his manifestations will not dissolve the marriage.
- This renders redundant not just halala but the incorporation of a platitudinous advisory against instant talaq in the nikahnama
- There is also scope now to amend the 1937 Act, to exclude talaq-e-bid’a from the definition of the word “talaq” mentioned in Section 2, and make the Koranic procedure of talaq gender-neutral.
- This judgment will also encourage Muslim intellectuals to establish mediation centres across India under the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism to help Muslim couples amicably resolve their marital disputes
4. Madras HC issues notice to Union law secretary on PIL against mandatory death penalty
In news:
- The Madras High Court has issued notice to the Union law secretary and the secretary of the social justice and empowerment ministry on a PIL, urging for a section of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act), providing for a “mandatory death penalty”, to be declared as null and void.
- The petitioner, alleged that section 3(2)(I) of the said act, providing for the punishment, was violative of the Constitution.
- Section provided for the punishment if any person, not being a member of the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe community, gave or fabricated false evidence, with an intention to cause a member of the SC/ST community to be convicted for an offence, resulting in the imposition of capital punishment.
- The section added that if such a person was executed on account of the false evidence, the person responsible for the same should also be punished with death
- A mandatory death punishment had been held to be opposed to human dignity and struck down by constitutional courts across the world
1. PM tells tax authorities to bring all traders in GST net
1. Adani, SAAB tie up to build fighter jets
Collaboration with SAAB
- The Adani group has announced a collaboration with Swedish defence major SAAB to manufacture Gripen fighter jets in India, if selected
- However, the partnership would be possible if Adani being shortlisted in the evaluation process
- Why this collaboration: Indian Government is going to issue a multibillion dollar tender for over a 100 single engine fighter jets
Particulars of the Tender
- IAF is expected to begin the process in the next few months for a single engine fighter aircraft to replace the Russian Mig-21s and Mig-27s in service
- The procurement would be under the recently promulgated Strategic Partnership (SP) model of the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP)
- The deal for 100 plus fighter aircraft is estimated to be worth over Rs. 60,000 crore
Category: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
2. Novel compounds destroy biofilm-forming bacteria
In news:
- Scientists at the Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), have developed two new molecules capable of destroying bio-film forming bacteria.
- The molecules performed better than conventional antibiotics in killing the bacteria during the dormant phase
- When used in combination with existing antibiotics, the molecules reduced the microbial burden in the case of burns and surgical wounds.
- What are Bio-films?
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that attach to each other and to surfaces and are able to act as barriers to antibiotics

Question 1.
Anand is the inspector in charge of Rampur Police station. The police station building is in dire need of repairs, but hasn’t received any grants for years. One day, a cyclone hits a nearby area, damaging most of the houses and shops. Although Anand’s police station gets partially damaged, but most of the building remain intact. Government sends a disaster assessment team to ascertain the level of damage and pay relief money.  When disaster assessment team comes, you tell them building collapsed by the cyclone, and ask them to give priority in funding after all police stations is one the most important public offices in a town.
Should Anand obey his boss’s order?

Object Orientation
Chinese proverb:
The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.
Defining new kinds of things and bringing these to code. We should be able to create our own things. Teach those things how to work. And use those things.
class Names are arbitrary and simply point to a block of behaviors. They are just variables
the difference between variable types is the scope. The context in which they were created.
a class and a module represent the same behavior and scope gate
a constant defined in a class are only accessible in that class
classes can’t inherit from modules
Namespacing with ::
12
Dog::Colors#go into the name class and get me colors
An instance variable is totally dependent on which object you are referring to. Every time you assign an instance variable you are teaching properties to the object.
It is not the responsibility of each dog (snoopy, pluto, etc.) to know anything about any other dog.
It is the classes responsibility to know about the class, but not about each individual dog.
classes are object, logic and data
method overriding- changing what a method does
Referential integrity
Foreign key relationships are described as parent/child relationships (customer being the parent, and customer_sales the child), and the record is said to be orphaned when its parent is no longer in existence.
Referential integrity can be compromised in three situations: when creating a new record, deleting a record or updating a record.
You can delete a record from customer and at the same time delete the record from the customer_sales table, using only one delete statement. This is called a cascading delete, where all associated records are deleted, ‘cascading’ through the tables according to the foreign key relationships.
The standard options when deleting a foreign key are listed below:
ON DELETE CASCADE
ON DELETE SET NULL
ON DELETE RESTRICT
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON DELETE SET DEFAULT
Fun
Code golf is a type of recreational computer programming competition in which participants strive to achieve the shortest possible code that implements a certain algorithm.
Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn’t take it away from you. I’m happy to share what I can, because I’m in it for the love of programming.
Think about solutions not syntax
Rack
A modular web server interface
Rack App
a ruby object that responses to a call method, taking a single hash parameter and returning an array which contains the response status code, response headers
Rack applications are objects that respond to call. They must return a “triplet”. A triplet contains the status code, headers, and body. Here’s an example class that shows “hello world.”
class HelloWorld
def response
[200, {}, 'Hello World']
end
end
You have to instantiate the Rack application (oh duh)[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15572392/why-does-rails-generate-a-config-ru-that-runs-a-class-not-an-object]

Encapsulates genome evaluation data; specifically whether the genome has been evaluated, the genome's fitness, how many times the genome has been evaluated and if more than once then the mean fitness.
Mean fitness is sometimes used when evaluations are non-deterministic (where each evaluation with the same parameters results in a different fitness, usually following some distribution curve) or else successive evaluations use different evaluation parameters and therefore result in different fitnesses. This approach is sometimes used in order to evaluate against a very computationally expensive fitness scheme, or indeed a computationally intractable scheme - i.e. we only execute against some subset of the problem space for each genome evaluation, and thus we obtain a more representative value for a genome's fitness by averaging over successive evaluations.

Afghan teenager, Maraj Karimi, 15, missing from Scotland may have travelled to Cork
The 15-year-old is around 5ft 4in tall, of slim build and has short black hair.
by Dylan O'ConnellA teenager missing from Scotland may have travelled to Cork to visit family living there.
Maraj Karimi - an Afghan teenager who has been missing for two months - is believed to have travelled from Scotland to Ireland to visit relatives.
Scottish police are looking to trace the 15-year-old who has been missing from the Newton Stewart area of Dumfries and Galloway since the end of September, Cork Beo reports.
The 15-year-old is around 5ft 4in in height, of slim build and has short black hair.
When last seen on September 22, he was wearing a pink/red and white polo shirt and a black bomber style jacket.
A spokesman for Scottish Police said: "We have been carrying out extensive enquiries and working with other law enforcement agencies to trace Maraj."
"We believe he travelled to Belfast in Northern Ireland by ferry around 6am on 22 September and thereafter, potentially to the Dublin area via train."
"We believe he has relatives in the Cork area and it's possible he may have travelled into the Republic of Ireland in order to reunite with his family."

iOS 13.2 aggressive killing of background apps is causing problems for Tesla owners
by SururiPhone owners have once again run into software issues with the latest iOS 13.2, with users complaining the app is closing background processes so aggressively that multi-tasking no longer exists on the operating system.
iOS has of course never been famous for being an operating system which placed multi-tasking first, but some developers have come to rely on having their app running in the background.
One of these has been Tesla, which lets you replace your car keys with your phone. Tesla owners are now complaining that their doors do not open when they approach with iOS 13.2.
Of course, not only Tesla owners are affected. Many home automation systems like electronic door locks rely on the same feature.
Apple is rapidly earning a reputation of delivering more issues than features with their software updates, and I suspect more iOS users will be reconsidering installing the latest OS update without it being well tested in the market first.

Can someone tell me the command to get the service star level ?
I want to make a plugin that only shows the weapons, were you havent got 100 kills.
Thx

There is no "command" for that. You need to calculate it by the kills to a weapon.

Ok nice thx. I am new so can you give me a tipp how to get the "kills" that a made with a weapon. I would make it like "kills" < 100 .
That would be ok right?
Thx

I have no tips, you have to learn the coding language "javascript". When you know javascript than you know how you can get those data.

You are at Museum Campus, home to Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum of Natural History. For most of their history, these museums were divided by Lake Shore Drive. The lanes were moved in 1998 to make the site more pedestrian-friendly with green spaces, gardens, jogging paths, and walkways. Spanning 57 acres, Museum Campus attracts millions of residents and tourists each year, making it one of the most-visited locations in Chicago.
Look out into the water and you will see the southernmost point of the Chicago breakwater, which protects the downtown shoreline from heavy waves. If you look closely, you will see cracks, rust, and other signs of deterioration. Much of this is regular wear and tear from constant waves, but the corrosion has gotten worse in recent decades. Parts of the barrier that should be underwater have been exposed to air due to Lake Michigan's low water levels.

postGIS-tools
documentation¶
This module simplifies the process of using Python
to perform spatial analysis with data stored in a PostgreSQL
database
with the PostGIS
extension. It leverages other open-source modules including
geopandas
, pandas
, sqlalchemy
, geoalchemy2
, and psycopg2
.
Assuming you’ve already installed the dependencies, installation is simple:
pip install git+https://github.com/aaronfraint/postGIS-tools.git
Here’s an example showing how to create a SQL database, load a shapefile, and
extract the data as a geopandas.GeoDataFrame
:
import postGIS_tools as pGIS
# Make a new database
pGIS.make_new_database("my_new_database", host="localhost")
# Load a shapefile as a spatial table
pGIS.shp_to_postgis("/path/to/my/shapefile.shp", "my_table_in_postgres", "my_new_database")
# Extract the spatial data as a geopandas geodataframe
gdf = pGIS.query_geo_table("my_new_database", "SELECT * FROM my_table_in_postgres")
# Iterate over all features in the spatial table
for idx, row in gdf.iterrows():
# do things...

PyData Tel Aviv 2022
2022 has been a good year of events! After we have the first PyCon PT back in September, now we have the first PyData Tel Aviv. I am so happy about the friendliness of the people here and their hospitality.
Arrival and Speaker Dinner
I was excited to go to Tel Aviv as London was having a bit of a snowstorm, however, due to the same snowstorm, my flight is delayed for 3 hours. All passengers were waiting to take off on the plane but we have to sit and wait. The wait goes from 30 mins to 1 hour, then 2 hours and finally it took us almost 3 hours till we finally got a slot to safely took off. After all this stress, I was glad that the flight was not cancelled and I was heading to Tel Aviv.
After another 5 hours, by this time I am already spending the whole day on the plane which is not equipped for long-haul flights. I was super nervous as the organisers of the conference already arranged my pick up from the airport, and the airport was super busy. After getting lost and not about to find the staff member who was supposed to pick me up. I was nervous. But luckily, they finally come to get me and we are heading to the city. Since I was late, my plan to check in to the hotel and refresh before the speaker dinner is now out of the window, I am heading straight to the speaker dinner.
Shout out for the organisers of @PyDataTLV they help me to get through the busy airport fast after the stressful delayed flight! Thank you so much 😊 pic.twitter.com/sJe9eu24k9

Even though I was tired out from the journey, the warm welcome of the organisers and other speakers makes me feel energised again and I was glad that I can talk to so many amazing people. People will come and talk to me and introduce themselves. Sitting next to me was another speaker Aleksander who lived in Tel Aviv but is from Poland. He was super friendly and we talked a lot about the business and living there. Sitting opposite me were a few organisers and volunteers and when I said that I work for Anaconda, they are super happy and they were very interested in PyScript.
Overall, I had a great evening and after that, I finally got checked in to the hotel and rested after a long day.
PyData Tel Aviv
I work up early the next morning, feeling refreshed after a good sleep at the hotel. I was so glad that the weather is so nice in Tel Aviv and the venue is in a convention centre park that got quite some greenery. When I step into the venue, I entered from the wrong entrance but the organisers guided me to the registration and I got my badge very quickly.

In the hallway, the sponsors already have their booth ready and were playing games with the attendees, giving out swags. There are snacks and coffee to give us energy before the conference begins.
So excited! 1st @PyDataTLV for the 3rd largest PyData community ❤ let’s go! pic.twitter.com/KHBVWSBeYX

Finally, the conference begins. After a quick opening, the first speaker is a keynote by Raymond Hettinger who is from Austin! As a CPython core developer, He teaches us a lot about how the math in Python works under the hood. It is very educational and interesting.

Then the conference is split into two tracks. One is mainly in Hebrew and one is in English. Because of my limitation in language ability. I attend mostly English talks.
First, we have a talk by Rachel Shalom about incorporating GAN in business analytics.

Then it’s lunchtime. I got a lot of opportunities to talk to people in between talks as the conference allow 15 mins break between talks. I think it’s a really good buffer and let people have time to refresh and switch room for the next talk. I have talked to Tal, who is volunteering for the conference and he told me that he loves Anaconda. I have also talked to Rueven who has attended EuroPython before and as a trainer himself, he is very interested in the education aspect that Anaconda is doing.
I would say this is the most sociable #PyData conference. 15 mins for changing tracks and talk to friendly people between talks! pic.twitter.com/GJtTNE7Hfi

After a quick lunch, I have to check the projector connected to my laptop as I will be speaking right after. However, after trying, I was told that the projector would not work with the newer model of Macbook, which is what I had. So one of the organisers was kind enough to let me use his computer for presenting. I was blessed with a full room of audience and they are all very responsive. I got quite a lot of questions after the talk.

After that, there is a talk about data models for online harm. It is very interesting to see how a model distinguishes say, a video of someone cutting a tomato from a video involving violence.

At the end of the conference, there are lightning talks. In this conference, the lightning talks are pre-selected and approved and act like mini-talks that is selected from the proposal, which is very new for me. But I guess new speakers would appreciate and have less stress by having more time to prepare for their mini-talk rather than being spontaneous and be decided on the day.

And soon after, it’s the end of the conference. I enjoy the experience and I think all the organisers and volunteers for making such a great conference.
Thank you for a great @PyDataTLV conference! I really enjoyed it 🥰 pic.twitter.com/X1NJ3AnXTt

Before I go, there are drinks reception outside. So I get a chance and talk to more people. I met Jacob Barhak who took over the Python Austin meetup from Peter who founded it. Being in Israel now he said he could only organise a remote meetup for Python Austin at the moment and I think maybe we can help to find him a co-organiser in Austin. I also met a lady, Inbal, who organises open-source and C++ events in Israel. She is so friendly and I would love to introduce her event to our open-source teams in the future.
And here is PyData TelAviv. I love the community here and so far it has been a successful trip.

This article serves as a good exercise to see how forward propagation works and then how the gradients are computed to implement the backpropagation algorithm. Also, the reader will get comfortable with the computation of vector, tensor derivatives and vector/matrix calculus. A useful document can be found here for the interested reader to get familiar with tensor operations.
We will compute the gradients and derivatives of the loss function of the given neural network as shown in the Fig 1. with respect to the parameters: \(W_{1}\), \(W_{2}\), \(b_{1}\) and \(b_{2}\). Where \(W_{1}\), \(W_{2}\) are the weight matrices; and \(b_{1}\) and \(b_{2}\) are bias the vectors. Let \(x \in \mathcal{R}^2\), \(W_{1} \in \mathcal{R}^{2*500}\), \(b_{1} \in \mathcal{R}^{500}\), \(W_{2} \in \mathcal{R}^{500*2}\) and \(b_{2} \in \mathcal{R}^2\). Also, show how the forward and backpropagation algorithms work.
Let us first compute the forward propagation. Let x be the input. The first hidden layer is computed as follows: \[z_{1} = \textit{x}W_{1} + b_{1} \tag{1}\]
We then apply a non-linear activation function to equation \[a_{1} = \textit{tanh}(z_{1}) \tag{2}\]
The output layers’ activation are obtained using the following transformation \[z_{2} = a_{1}W_{2} + b_{2} \tag{3}\]
Finally, a softmax is applied to get:
\[a_{2} = \hat{y} = softmax(z_{2}) \tag{4}\]
where \(\hat{y}\) is the predicted output by the feedforward network
Let’s see this feedforward network through a circuit diagram as illustrated in Fig 2. Now, let’s see how the derivatives are computed with respect to the hidden nodes and bias vectors. Refer Fig 3.
We have to compute the derivative of the loss function with respect to \(W_{1}\), \(W_{2}\), \(b_{1}\) and \(b_{2}\) that is see the effect of these parameters on the loss function (which we actually have to minimize).
Below are the steps to compute the various gradients as shown in figure:
\[Loss = y * ln(\sigma(z_{2})) + (1-y) * ln(1-\sigma(z_{2})) \tag{5}\]
Also, note that:
\[\frac{d\sigma(z_{2})}{dz} = ln(\sigma(z_{2})) * ln(1-\sigma(z_{2})) \tag{6}\]
Therefore, \[\frac{\partial Loss}{\partial z_{2}} = y - \sigma(z_{2}) = y - \hat{y} \tag{7}\]
Since, \(\sigma(z_{2})\) = \(\hat{y}\)
\[\frac{\partial z_{2}}{\partial w_{2}} = \frac{\partial (a_{1}W_{2}+b_{2})}{\partial w_{2}} = a_{1} \tag{8}\]
\[\frac{\partial z_{2}}{\partial b_{2}} = 1 \tag{9}\]
\[\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial z_{2}}{\partial tanh(z_{1})} &= \frac{\partial(a_{1}W_{2}+b_{2})} {\partial tanh(z_{1})}\\ &= \frac{\partial(tanh(z_{1})W_{2}+b_{2})} {\partial tanh(z_{1})}\\ &= z_{2} \end{aligned}\tag{10}\]
\[\frac{\partial tanh(z_{1})}{\partial z_{1}} = 1 - tanh^2(z_{1}) \tag{11}\]
\[\frac{\partial z_{1}}{\partial W_{1}} = \frac{\partial (xW_{1}+b_{1})}{\partial W_{1}} = x \tag{12}\]
\[\frac{\partial z_{1}}{\partial b_{1}} = \frac{\partial (xW_{1}+b_{1})}{\partial b_{1}} = 1 \tag{13}\]
Finally, we can now use the chain rule to compute the effect of the four parameters namely \(W_{1}\), \(W_{2}\), \(b_{1}\) and \(b_{2}\) on the Loss function.
In what follows, \((P)^T\) indicates the transpose of some matrix or vector P.
\[\frac{\partial Loss}{\partial W_{2}} = \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial z_{2}} * \frac{\partial z_{2}}{\partial W_{2}} = a_{1}^T(y-\hat{y}) \tag{14}\]
\[\frac{\partial Loss}{\partial b_{2}} = \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial z_{2}} * \frac{\partial z_{2}}{\partial b_{2}} = (y-\hat{y}) \tag{15}\]
\[\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial W_{1}} &= \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial z_{2}} * \frac{\partial z_{2}}{\partial z_{1}} * \frac{\partial z_{1}}{\partial W_{1}} \\ &= \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial z_{2}} * \frac{\partial z_{2} }{\partial tanh(z_{1})} * \frac{\partial tanh(z_{1})}{\partial z_{1}} * \frac{\partial z_{1}}{\partial W_{1}} \\ &= x^T (1-tanh^2Z_{1}) (y-\hat{y}) W_{2}^T \end{aligned}\tag{16}\]
\[\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial b_{1}} &= \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial z_{2}} * \frac{\partial z_{2}}{\partial z_{1}} * \frac{\partial z_{1}}{\partial W_{1}} \\ &= \frac{\partial Loss}{\partial z_{2}} * \frac{\partial z_{2} }{\partial tanh(z_{1})} * \frac{\partial tanh(z_{1})}{\partial z_{1}} * \frac{\partial z_{1}}{\partial b_{1}}\\ &= (1-tanh^2Z_{1}) (y-\hat{y}) W_{2}^T \end{aligned}\tag{17}\]
Hence, we have computed both the forward propagation and back propagation for the given multi-layer neural network.
